Advancing Multi-control Commercial Aircraft Trajectory Optimization

A new research applies singular control theory to optimize trajectories of commercial airplanes in a vertical plane. Our journal paper titled “Multi-control commercial aircraft trajectory optimization in a vertical plane with state-inequality constraints via singular control theory”, has been written by Amin Jafarimoghaddam as main author, and coauthored by prof. Manuel Soler, both from the AircraftContinue reading “Advancing Multi-control Commercial Aircraft Trajectory Optimization”

New publication: “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations”

Our paper titled “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations”, shows that a separation minima reduction can bring significant fuel savings, flight delay reduction, air traffic controller workload drop, and improve safety. It has been coauthored by prof. Javier García-Heras from the Aircraft Operations Lab UC3M and several researchers from Universidad PolitécnicaContinue reading “New publication: “Performance impact assessment of reducing separation minima for en-route operations””
